Of War & Peace

During the early seventies, the threat of nuclear war was an excepted reality.  When I left school and joined the military, I honestly believed that a holocaust was inevitable.  'A new day dawning'  was the first time I used verse to express my fears, I had just turned sixteen at the time..

A New Day Dawns

The sun that rose above the hill

Looked upon the Earth with fiery ill

He saw what man had done at last

He saw the shapes of things gone by

he saw the world lay down and die

“You fools” he screamed above the wind

“You deserve to die for this great sin”

He cried for children never born

He cried for peace, a simple word

He cried for love, what no man had

He cried for man, his tears were sad

The sun that rose that fateful day

Would no more see the children play

For Man the God in his great pride

Let Man the God call the tune

Now Man the God is dead to soon

Of Life & Death

Of Philosophy & Folly

Of War & Peace
